Extension summary

Analyze keywords

This extension allows you to disable tabbed browsing. When windowed mode is set, your browser will open windows wherever possible rather than use tabs.

It is based on the extension Tab-less. Unlike the original, this version allows you to toggle between windowed and tabbed mode by clicking the icon or by using a keyboard shortcut.

Upon being installed, the extension begins in tabbed mode. This mode does absolutely nothing, allowing tabs to be created without being converted into windows.

To switch to tab-less mode, click the icon. This immediately converts all open tabs into separate windows. In tabbed mode, for every instance a new tab would be created, an appropriate new window is created instead.

To switch back to tabbed mode, click the icon again.

Note: switching back to tabbed mode does NOT collapse the individual windows back into tabs. If you have many tabs open and switch to tab-less mode, all the tabs will be separated into individual windows; there is no way to undo this without manually recombining the windows one by one.

All the code for this extension is open-sourced and can be found online at https://github.com/ei14/tab-less-togglable. I'd be happy to receive any feedback, hear about any bugs or accept any pull-requests for new code at that address.

FAQs

User reviews

I created this extension because I often don't want tabs, but sometimes I do. The Tab-less extension is good, but it doesn't really provide a way to toggle it on and off, other than completely disabling the extension while it's not being used. I wanted an extension that lets me click a button or trigger a keyboard shortcut to toggle between tabbed mode and tab-less mode. There are still some problems with this extension, but I have found it to be very useful for my personal productivity, so I decided it was worth it to publish this extension so others like me can benefit.
